At the end of 2009 my agent, Jenny, unfortunately had to close her agency due to the economic situation in the US - the recession has hit the publishing industry pretty hard. I've no doubt Jenny's decision was difficult as it meant not only the ending of many professional relationships with her clients but the closure ot her dreams of being an agent with her own agency. I wish her well in her future ventures, whatever they may be.
So, 2010 sees me on the hunt for a new agent. I've already started. I've surfed the 'net, looking at websites, updating my Top 10 agent wish-list, researching submission procedures and writing new query letters.
It's time consuming, sometimes monotonous but always a challenge. Writing that query letter just so, to hook the interest of an agent, is no easy thing. I spent the better part of today fine tuning individual QL's, checking formatting and spelling etc. and then emailing it off to my first chosen few.
What do I put in my QL's?
An introductory paragraph - ms title, word count, genre/target market. Sometimes this is also the paragraph I remind an agent they previously requested a full manuscript in an earlier submission (it doesn't hurt to remind them you've had former contact with them, they might even remember you!).
2nd paragraph - a description of the manuscript (I tend to write mine like the back cover blurb of a book).
3rd paragraph - the credentials of the manuscript being pitched (its contest placings, any publications etc.).
4th paragraph - a statement to the effect that I'm enclosing in the body* of the email what the individual agent required as a submission (eg. 3 chapters & a synopsis).
5th paragraph - a statement saying that I'd be more than happy to send them the full ms if the query interests them and that I'm looking forward to hearing from them.
Sign off with full contact details - name, address, phone number (including international area code) and email address.
*Most agencies filter out emails with attachments and unless the agent has specifically requested your work as an attachment, put it in the body of your email, after your query letter. Chapters or sample work first then synopsis.
Most agencies on my Top 10 list accept email queries and submissions. Some don't, so check carefully when researching information about your chosen agent or agency.
I also jot down, usually on my calendar when I sent a query, partial, full to an agent and when I'll follow up on the query (some agencies state when to check back with them after a certain period time) as well as who sent back a rejection, a rejections with feedback and so on.
Once I've done the rounds of sending out queries, I then sit back and wait, and continue writing the next book. It makes the time pass faster.
So, here's to a successful 2010 - Year of Hunting for a New Agent.

I have always thought that it is a lot of hassle taking the public transport into Malaysia . With the recent knowledge that a bus plies the route between Jurong East and Johor via the second link that ends at a shopping mall, the barrier is broken and I thought : why not ?
Afterall, Jurong is a stone's throw from home. And what can be more purposeful than a shopping mall as a destination. Besides , a bus ride will allow me to twiddle my thumbs and enjoy the scenery ( boy, was I wrong ). This is a far cry from the stress of driving to an unknown location on unfamiliar road.
So today, after depositing the Little H safely in school, together with Pat, we turned up at the Jurong East Interchange at 8.45 am for the Big Ride.
Jurong East Interchabge has a Causeway Link booth manned by 2 staff in yellow and blue, who collected our fares of $4 per person prior to getting up the bus. It was a bright yellow beat up bus bearing CW3 bound for Bukit Indah. The frequency is a decent 20 minutes.
CW3 gave a smooth ride down Jurong Town Hall Rd , pass AYE and Tuas checkpoint in about 15 minutes. After clearing immigration at Tuas checkpoint, we hopped up the same bus. A little sprinting is required in order to be on the same bus because any delay at the immigration means we will have to take the next CW3.
We went north via the 2nd link. At Johor immigration, we had to fill up forms, a delay that caused us to miss our bus this time. It was while walking up and down the bus bay that we realized that CW3 didn't stop at the appointed bus bay located after the customs because of the many tour buses there. In our staid and Singaporean manner, we did not expect the bus to deviate from its prescribed course.
We walked a well trodden path and cut across the Jusco car park. The charges are : 1st hr free, subsequent RM1 per entry. This information will be filed away for our future trips.
We surveyed the 3 level mall. It is cavernous and quiet , being Monday. Nevertheless, shops are opened. There are lots of clothing and shoe shops, quite hip and current. Aeon Indah looks half like any mall in Singapore with its familiar tenant mix: SK, Toast Box, Kenny Rogers, Face Shop, Secret Recipe etc.
At a toy shop, I spied a little notebook going for RM7.50. it will be a present for Hopey for not being with the party. The deal was made sweeter with a final discounted price of RM6.
Our tea break was at the Donut n Coffee shop. The price is affordable and place cheerfully set up with yellow chairs and tables. Most importantly, the colorful donuts were all priced at a happy RM 2.30. I had a holeless coconut and mango donut and Pat a choco peanut donut. 2 iced coffee cost another RM 10.
There are many silver ware shops. With gold price at USD1320 per ounce, I am squirreling silver for posterity instead. I bought a silver chain at a shop in level 2 for RM35. This will go well with my new handmade silver pendant. The deal was sealed with 9 future cleaning services at RM1, if I should ever visit.
At Jusco, restraint was needed as we did not drive. I bought 3 packs of A1 curry paste , RM3.40 each. It is cheaper compared to those sold in Giant IMM for 2.40 SGD. Another housewifely idiosyncrasy.
By noon, we have toured each level twice. The only thing that is cheaper is the nail color at Face Shop priced 9.90 RM. It retails at 7.90 SGD back home. October is too early for Christmas shopping spree so I abandon the notion of purchase with much regret.
The initial idea was to eat at the Jap noodles at Restaurant St Level 2 . But we were running late, and make do with lunch at the food court in front of Jusco. I had chicken noodle hot plate 6.15RM, Pat had chicken clay pot rice 5.50 RM. Food is pretty good, staff friendly. My only grouse was the modest portion.
This seems shallow but a housewife has to do what a housewife has to do.
We walked out of Aeon Indah towards Macdonalds' golden arches where CW3 terminates. We surveyed the length of the strip of shop houses behind Macs looking for CW3 embarkation point. There were no waiting passengers, only a dilapidated kiosk announcing a CW3 assembly point. No drivers were in view. Just as we were wondering, a CW3 rolled in from nowhere. The bus driver was puzzled why I was so anxious. How not to be ? Proper protocol back home was abandoned and rules here are fuzzy. Even answers from bystanders are non specific. I was afraid I would miss the bus again.
That was 1.30 pm.
RM5 (each ) paid, we were the only passengers on board. CW3 loped behind Macs, past Aeon Indah and went a short stretch of NW highway southbound. Now experienced, we cleared Malaysia immigration quickly and hopped up the same bus, all in a cool couple of minutes. It was quite a workout.
CW3 sped through the 2nd Link over the Straits of Johor. Singapore greeted us with her glistening Immigration and customs building. We made it through the automatic passport readers that scanned our passports and thumbs. More x-ray machines and we were off again.
Disoriented, we looked beyond the tour buses at the bus bay and saw our CW3 in the distant. The driver had made through customs and was awaiting his passengers. By now, he had recognized the 2 frenzied jog-a-trot plastic bags passengers and admitted us without asking for tickets.
Past Tuas, AYE, we reached Jurong East I/C at 2.30pm. It was a surprising fast 1 hr ride home, with enough time for a cool drink before we collect our car at IMM and bring the loot back home.

Hair loss awareness week is between the 31st of Jan and the 6th of Feb is being highlighted by the Institute of Trichologists as the time to raise awareness of all types of hair loss problems.
Excessive hair loss problems blight the lives of both men and women causing incredible psychological suffering and in many cases may be the first outward signs of a serious underlying condition. Hair loss is distressing and upsetting especially for women, up to 1:3 women will suffer from some form of hair loss in their life, after all it is a woman's 'crowning glory and has a devastating effect on the sufferer.
The main types of hair loss fall into two categories diffuse hair loss or patchy (for want of a better word) which the word 'Alopecia' is all to commonly used. Diffuse hair loss is very common; usually women initially notice their hair becoming fine and fly away, this can be the start of thinning hair and can be many the reasons; Diet, Medication: Certain underlying illness and severe stress: can all lead to thinning hair.
Genetic thinning comes under this banner too, just as men suffer from 'male pattern baldness' there is a female version too and it affects just as many women as it does men, the difference being the type of 'pattern' it takes and it is more likely to happen after menopause. Alopecia is simply a term meaning 'hair loss', when people say alopecia they usually think of Alopecia Areata, which is an auto-immune disorder (the body is fighting against itself) and usually rectifies itself without medical intervention.
Most hair problems (to a greater or lesser extent) can rectified but only if the underlying problem is identified and treated by an expert, and not by using off the shelf remedies, they never work because they never get to the 'root' of the problem [excuse the pun!]
Men too suffer from the worries hair loss although it is more 'socially acceptable' now for men to lose their hair for some it is still a huge psychological problem which relates more to low self esteem and worries of body image rather than vanity. Male hair loss is usually genetics but correct diagnosis and medication can help maintain the hairline (and in some cases grow the hair back).

R.I.P. Harvey Pekar
After decades of success which ranged from one of the medium's earliest self-publishing triumphs to a mainstream crossover that would defy all expectations for the phrase "comic book movie," one of the comics greatest stories has come to an end as The Cleveland Leader has confirmed that writer Harvey Pekar died this morning at the age of 70.
A lifelong resident of Cleveland, Ohio, Pekar turned the true tales of his life "from off the streets" of that city into one of the most celebrated and notable comics projects in the history of the artform. Starting in 1976 as a collaboration between the writer and underground cartoonist R. Crumb, Pekar's "American Splendor" title chronicled its heroes life as a file clerk at Cleveland's VA hospital and his interests from jazz music to literature. Originally a modest one-man operation published by Pekar and illustrated by a rotating cast of comics talents including Gary Dumm and Spain Rodriguez, "American Splendor" caught national attention in the '80s when Pekar became a frequent guest on NBC's "Late Night With David Letterman" often running opposite the popular "Stupid Pet Tricks" segment before his outspoken criticisms of NBC owner General Electric briefly ended the relationship.
More importantly, "American Splendor" brought Pekar to the attention of his third wife Joyce Brabner who also become one of his most important collaborators. In 1994 when Pekar was diagnosed with lymphoma, Brabner pushed him to turn the story of his treatment into a graphic novel as both a form of creativity and of therapy. The resulting "Our Cancer Year" won the prestigious Harvey Award in 1995 which along with a 1987 win of the National Book Award for "American Splendor" helped carry Pekar's reputation for keenly observed autobiography to new audiences both within and outside the comics community.
The "American Splendor" title continued over the years in a variety of formats and for a variety of publishers including Dark Horse and DC's Vertigo imprint and in 2003 was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated film directed by by documentarians Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini and starring Paul Giamatti and Hope Davis as well as Pekar and Brabner in real life segments.
Pekar retired from file clerking around that time, but continued to be a force in comics up through his death. No longer spinning out smaller stories meant for comic books, Pekar's later work took on a broader introspective tone as graphic novels like "The Quitter" with artist Dean Haspiel and multiple non-autobio comics including an adaptation of Stud Terkel's "Working." This past year, the writer found a new generation of young cartoonists to work with at Smith Magazine under the heading "The Pekar Project" where a rotating cast of artists would work with Pekar to delve into his life as a cultural figure as well as his interests in music and art.
Pekar passed away early this morning, being found by Brabner just before 1:00 AM Cleveland time. He is survived by his wife and their daughter Danielle.

I've had a rather non-productive week in terms of writing work. Not that this is a bad thing as I have been busy with studying and job hunting. I presently have four unfinished projects and I really need to get these finished. Two of these are more urgent as they are due on 30th July.
Life over the past few months has been hectic. I have been enjoying it tremendously and this is only the beginning in my mind. I am very eager to continue expanding and improving my writing. It means creating more time to concentrate on writing and that is why I am searching for a part time job that allows more days at home for me to work. I would love to give up work entirely for a few months but mortgage commitments won't allow it. Over the past few months I have managed to recognise my writing pattern and the conditions I write best in. I'm sure I have mentioned before but my present (paid) work pattern is 25 hours split into 5 hours each day (Mon-Fri) or a full weekend and Mon & Tues which gives me 3 days off. It is always on these three days I am most productive. As I only work one or two weekends a month it means these three day events don't happen too often. So I would much rather work roughly the same hours over three days and have at least two days at home by myself to do writing work. So I am having to put some of my time towards solving this situation. I am also hoping that I can get a job connected to writing or theatre work to compliment my future plans.
I said on twitter that once I had reached 1000 hits on the blog I would run a competition on the blog. I have passed that mark and am planning the competition as I type this and it will hopefully be on the blog next week. Just need to finish the housework I'm in the middle of (clearly blogging in the middle helps the process!) and make sure I get those two projects completed in time.

It is interesting this question of giving up work to write.ReplyDelete
I had a part-time job I loathed; however, it gave my week a frame into which I could slot my writing. Indeed, so successful was the combination, I managed to complete my first novel.
Since then, i.e. three months ago, I have stopped work and written little.
I don't know how disciplined you are, more so than me I hope, but I have been looking around for another way to create a routine in my life to spur me to write at set times.

Writing is a real discipline and I'm only just getting my head round it. So many distractions and not enough time.ReplyDelete
Hope you manage to get novel two under way soon.

Another April 15th has come and gone, and many of you are getting your first well-deserved break in weeks. Congratulations! You've put another tax season behind you. Now, what have you learned?
This is a great time of year to sit back and take stock of the season that just ended, while it's still fresh in your mind. So ask yourself a few questions — and take time to reflect on your answers:
Did you make all the money you wanted? I'm guessing a lot of you will answer "no." So let's dig a little deeper. Was this the first year you were disappointed? If so, can you identify why you were disappointed? (Local economy suffering through job loss, etc?) Is there something you can do now to prevent the same disappointment next year, or steps you can take over time to protect yourself? If this isn't your first disappointing season, what's going on? Is the problem revenue, expenses, or both? If the problem is revenue, then you've got two options. You can charge more from your existing clients, or you can go out and find more clients. It's your call — but I'll tell you that most (but certainly not all) TaxCoach members find it's easier to charge more than to find new clients. Maybe next year will be time for a general fee increase. I've spoken with dozens upon dozens of TaxCoach members who have implemented significant one-time fee increases (generally ranging from 15-25%), and not one of them has ever told me they regretted it. If the problem is expenses, well, it's time to take a good hard look at your spending. Are you getting value from your office space, your staff, and your other expenses? If not, perhaps it's time for a change.
Did you work too long this season? I'm guessing a lot of you will answer this one "yes." So again, let's dig a little deeper. My son Oliver, who's nine, is a big fan of Orange Leaf, one of those frozen-yogurt-plus-toppings places that seems to have popped up all over the place. (My guess is that these places are replacing all those cupcake stores that were so popular a few years ago.) Oliver and I will often stop by after dinner — and he'll load up his bowl with too much yogurt, too many chocolate chips, and too many gummy worms. His eyes are bigger than his stomach, to say the least. A lot of us are the same way when it comes to work. We take on too much. Some of us take on too many clients, others keep too much of the work for ourselves and don't delegate enough to our staff. Either way, we end up with the same sort of queasy feeling we get after too many gummy worms! If you're one of those people taking on too much, then it's time for an intervention with yourself. Can you really handle all the promises you make and still get home in time to take your kids out for dessert? If not, what's the answer? Maybe charging higher fees will let you work less. Maybe it's time to add staff. Or maybe it's time to set new expectations for your clients so you can pass more work to the staff you already have. This is one problem that won't solve itself. So what's your plan for handling it?
Did you get the respect and appreciation you deserve? This question probably isn't the first on your list. But it's an important quality of life issue. Did you start your own business, at least in part, because you don't like being treated like crap by a boss? If so, why would you put up with the same behavior from a client?I've had several TaxCoach members tell me that firing clients is the most fun they've ever had with their clothes on. If you've got clients who don't give you the respect you deserve, well, you can show them the highway. If you've got a client who says, "I do it my way," you can tell him he's not Frank Sinatra, and send him packing.
What went especially well this season? What can you do to make sure it goes just as well — if not even better — next year? How can you turn it into a system to replicate that success?
What went wrong this season? What can you do to make sure it doesn't happen again?
What do you already know you want to do differently next year? What can you do now to give yourself a head start on it?
Don't just breeze through these questions and put them aside. Take some time to answer them, in writing, even. Share them with your staff and get their input. (They're smart people; that's why you hired them.) Share them with your nine-year-old, if he's the one who's missing out on frozen yogurt time because you're too busy.
The Greek philosopher Socrates famously said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Well, I'm not quite as profound as Socrates, but I will say the unexamined practice is not worth running. Now is a great time to do some examining, with benefits to your bank account and your blood pressure!

We helped to launch new Onu Eskimo ice creams.
In spring 2017, Balbiino decided to renew Onu Eskimo brand and launch three new ice-creams in waffle cone. Due to the rich heritage of Balbiino and the legacy of Evald Rooma (Onu Eskimo), we chose to tie the brand and the new ice creams to Estonia's 100th anniversary.
For celebrating Estonia's great birthday, Balbiino decided to give every kindergarten graduate one Onu Eskimo ice cream. As a result, the number of participating kindergartens exceeded the number of sent invitations and new ice creams were delivered to over 15000 children.
In addition we draw attention in media. New Estonian jubilee ice creams, were featured in TV, online and print media. Not to mention a high reach in social media. And finally – Onu Eskimo caramel flavour ice cream in waffle cone has the biggest market share amongst new ice creams.

Composer Christopher Lennertz: From "Horrible Bosses 2" to "Galavant"
Composer Christopher Lennertz was excited to return to the dysfunctional universe of "Horrible Bosses 2". Much like a casting director, Lennertz hired rock musicians whose styles and sounds accentuated the main characters in the original, "Horrible Bosses," He was excited to reunite with contemporary rock greats including Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Dave Matthews Band bassist Stefan Lessard to expand upon musical themes they established in the original, and create a new sound for the sequel.
"Because we had new characters we were able to add to the band," said Lennertz. "No Doubt's Tom Dumont's ska rhythms had a good vibe that matched with Chris Pine's character who has this over-the-top quality."
Lennertz's launching point for any score is the script, and a sequel is no exception. While he was enthusiastic about returning to the "Horrible Bosses" universe, the characters had evolved since the first installment. Additionally, there were several new characters and scenarios that deserved distinct themes. As with the original, Lennertz created a rock score for the film, allowing the viewer to feel reconnected to the universe and a familiarity to the characters. He referencing particular sounds made by keyboards and guitars that were employed throughout "Horrible Bosses." Working with the musicians he hired, he elevated familiar themes such as Dr. Julia Harris' (Jennifer Anniston.)
"In the first movie it was lighter, jazzier and sassy. It was the first time we were seeing her and her actions were completely unexpected," said Lennertz. "This time we take up the intensity. The element of surprise is no longer relevant."
Employing rock performers was something Lenertz hadn't done prior to working on "Horrible Bosses." While studio musicians are versatile in fast-pace scoring environments, Lennertz enjoyed the chameleon-esque quality each rocker's unique style brought to the table, particularly when production schedules allotted time to perfect the sounds. While it took some additional exploration of musical cues to solidify themes, musicians such as Lessard, Dumont and McCready were able to get into the skin of the characters and provide a unique, authentic voice to the score. Since "Horrible Bosses" Lennertz has sought specialized rock performers to assist on a number of film projects up to and including "Horrible Bosses 2". He was particularly fond of the hip hop beats Jurrassic 5's DJ Nu-Mark crafted for "Ride Along", his second of three 2014 releases. "Think Like a Man Too" – the sequel to "Think Like a Man" – was Lenertz's third 2014 release. It presented him an opportunity to revisit and musically expand the characters who had major emotional and personal development at the conclusion of the original film.
While matching rock performers to scoring needs has provided great results for film scores, Lennertz relies upon the skills studio musician have for the labor-intensive, extremely tight deadlines involved in scoring television series. Lennertz recently wrapped the tenth season of "Supernatural", a series he's scored since its inception. He also concluded work on the second season of "Revolution." Jumping between the formats of television and film, and genres as diverse as animation, drama, thriller, science fiction and comedy, keeps Lennertz creatively inspired.
"I'm very ADD. If I did one thing all the time I would get bored. Changing styles makes it easy for me to get fired up and excited about what I'm doing," said Lennertz. "I'm enthusiastic about finding new styles and sounds. Jazz, classical, hip hop – I just like great music in all styles."
Lennertz's interest in music began at an early age. While he grew up listening to John William's Oscar-winning scores for films including "Star Wars" and "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial", Lennertz's childhood dream was to be a rock star. While attending USC's Thornton School of Music, he attended a recording season for a score Henry Mancini was conducting, and fell in love with the processes. Upon graduating he began his career scoring films including Roger Corman's cult classic "Piranha." Since that time he's earned five BMI Awards, an International Film Music Critics Award nomination and an Emmy nomination.
To continue feeding his creative energy, Lennertz has three projects he's currently working on. He's scoring the comic feature "The Wedding Ringer" and an untitled adaptation of Marvel's Agent Carter comic; a television series set in the post-war forties that's providing Lennertz the opportunity to use a full orchestra and integrate many jazz elements into the score. Lennertz's third project finds him assisting Grammy, Tony and Oscar winning composer Alan Manken on "Galavant" – a musical theater meets Monty Python take on medieval love, loss and revenge.
"Alan Manken and I have the same agent, and he knew how much I loved him. Alan's won eight Oscars, so many Tonys, he's just incredible. I really wanted to see how Alan did it," said Lennertz. "It's been great to be part of a show that is so unlike anything else."

The Chicken Or The Egg?
It's a classic dilemma: which came first, the chicken or the egg? Have you ever gotten an answer that makes any sense?
I find the same complexity in the question: how do I let things go? People talk all the time about letting go of emotions and things that no longer serve you, but can it really be that simple? Especially when you feel wronged or someone has hurt you?
Letting go of strong emotions, or the need to be right (of course, I'm right and you're wrong!) in a particular situation, can feel like trying to move a 1,000-ton boulder out of the road so you can pass!
Now, keeping with the boulder scenario for just a moment, imagine it represents that thing, event, or emotion that you are holding onto. What would your life be like if you couldn't move that boulder out of your way?
I will tell you that some people carry that invisible boulder on their shoulders, no matter how hunched over they get. They unwittingly create future experiences with that boulder in tow and allow the shadow of this great boulder to shade the brightness of new opportunities. They compensate. Compensating looks like settling for less than who you are and pretending that you're not. The worst part of it is that you are not being honest and authentic with you. Continue on this road too long and you can lose your zest for being who you were meant to be.
Others stay stuck in time. They try to roll it, move it, hoist it, and push and push against the boulder that won't budge. And out of sheer exhaustion, they give up and sit down beside it, never moving forward.
So, what are you carrying, holding, pushing up against that needs to be let go of? Could you choose another way?
I like to enlist the power of my imagination when I am stuck in a situation and feel as though I don't have the power (even though I really do!) to stop thinking, believing, or buying into something that isn't serving me.
Here are some quick tips on how to remove (or shift) that boulder from your life:
1. Say Good-bye
Is the boulder (emotion, event, thought) serving you? Here's how to find out: Close your eyes and think the thought or feel the emotion. If it feels heavy (sadness, shortness of breath, constricting) then it isn't serving you. If it feels light (free), then perhaps you have learned all you need to learn from the situation, and now it's time to give yourself permission to fully (and ceremonially) say good-bye.
2. Shift
If it is too hard to fully let go or you feel that if you do let go that you will be losing a part of your identity, ask yourself, "Am I willing to shift or morph the feeling, situation or event?" This means finding something positive or something you have gained from the boulder's existence. Once you've found that, it's time to change the landscape of the boulder. Using your imagination, perhaps you could plant some flowers around the boulder or paint a mural on it (it's your imagination and your boulder, so have fun with it!).
3. Choose
If you are really ready to let go of the emotion, event or thought that is no longer serving you, you can:

Money is dead long live the poor,
I found a twenty pound note the other day,
and wondered, whether it had found me,
I put it back on the path and wondered off,
I hope that road wasn't covered by cctv,
maybe it could follow me,
The trick is when we have money it really has us,
and when we don't have money it really has us,
The marriage of money and life
they say money married life for its treasures,
and life married money for its measures,
Most of life's family and friends had either eaten or urinated on their invitations,
or cried prematurely, especially the trees, but paper always has that effect on them,
Life was marrying for love, and money was marrying for money, but swear he'd change, bum bum,
The only way to stop a bad man with money is a good man with money,
now that sound familiarly funny,
You might say those bankers and traders were mentally ill,
and some kind of regulation is the pill,
He was mentally ill,
maybe he didn't want to kill,
He just wanted to pull the trigger,
Cash changing hands,
fingers become triggers,
triggers become fingers,
when cash changes hands,
Cash changes hands,
dreams only come true if they can make money – money only comes true if it can make dreams –
there's a vicious circle in which hopes becomes a schemes –
we wear our possession like a veil,
to hide the shame that we are for sale,
The price of money is like the price of food,
or is that a little crude, for your tastes, pallet,
to put it in a nutshell using a mallet –
money is for, money is for, money is for, money is for, money is for; or against?
Money is just, money is just, money is just, money is just; money?
Polluting, is not the equivalent of looting,
our children's children's future,
Not the equivalent of a riot,
no, its very quiet,
If money is a forgery, and worthless,
Doesn't that mean that every thing is worth so much more?
Did you feel that?
Take away the value of money and we are all rich.
Money is like a dream, a copy of reality, we just need to wake up … wake up … dare you … I'll do it if you will …
Money is a weapon of mass destruction merged masturbation,
and, that an entire nation,
can feel the shame,
can take the blame,
for private banks,
coming in public faces,
investing for tanks,
to shell foreign places,
sponsor drugs to win races,
buy silence in legal cases,
so many of us vanish with out traces,
and the poor receive the disgraces,
The more there is of some thing the less it is worth is an illusion,
a false conclusion,
based on the notion,
that circulation is the only motion,
that it is all for sale and we are measuring the value of each part,
and not sharing the sum,
The ideology of supply and demand-
what … more than a slight of hand,
The more there is of some thing the less it is worth is an illusion,
a false conclusion,
The more there is of something the more value it has,
because there is more to go around,
to share, and more needs can be found,
Gold and diamonds are nearly worthless,
there is so little to go around,

DHCP dynamic ip and static ip simultaneously, one nic ?
Is it possible to use DHCP dynamic ip and static ip in one nic at the same time ?
Like in xp via regedit ?
Is it disabled to use them simultanously in win7, one nic?
Google is full of "alternative config" suggestions, but they aren't what i'm looking for.
(since it is for the "if DHCP isn't available" situation)
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2011
Is there really a need for that?
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2011
We'll, i'll save 20bucks, if i don't have to buy another nic and cable for it.
|My System Specs
|08 Mar 2011
Sorry about the long response time. I was just asking is there any real need for having two ips? If you are trying to use two separate networks you can always assign the info for both networks on the advanced page like you would do the the XP trick.
|My System Specs
|08 Mar 2011
Yes, 2 seperate networks, same card. But when "obtain ip automaticly" is on, i can't add static ip's from advanced page. (add ip button is disabled, due DHCP in use)
So it leads back to my orginal question, is it possible like in XP or is that "trick" disabled in win7? :)
Starting to think, maybe it is just better to get that another nic.
|My System Specs
|08 Mar 2011
Why dont you just set two static ips, and completely eliminate the need for dhcp?
|My System Specs
|09 Mar 2011
As i work at home, removing DHCP is not an option.
I allready bought that another NIC for the other network.
It would be nice to find some official info, if microsoft has disabled that dhcp & static ip trick simultanously in newer windows versions for future reference.
|My System Specs
|09 Mar 2011
Why is it not an option? In ip address is an ip address regardless of were it is obtained from is it not? All dhcp does is assighn the IP address, if you manually set the Ip address it bypasses the need for DHCP. You can set multiple gateways and multiple IPs under advanced options. So please tell me the factor I am missing here.
|My System Specs
|09 Mar 2011
Missing what?
As it is dynamic ip and i don't know what ip's are available from the DHCP at given time, so i can't use static ip for it. (or do you mean i would look up what ip i get from DHCP and change it to that manually ?, is that possible?) (and i don't have admin access to DHCP server.)
in my win XP installation, i had:
1 network card:
Sharing my own network static ip and dynamic ip to workplace network, simultanously.
now that i bought that second nic, i have in win7:
2 network cards:
1st. NIC getting dynamic DHCP ip from my workplace, to access corporate network.
2nd. NIC for my own network. static ip.
|My System Specs
|09 Mar 2011
If you are using a gateway device on your network:
Contact your it department and ask them for a static ip 9 out of ten times they are not going to have all ip's accounted for (planning for expansion)
If you dial in from your pc:
Your automatically assigned an ip address on your dial-in interface which acts as a virtual nic.

text: I grew up and live in Northern California. I grew up in far northern California where there are lots of redwood forests. There was a redwood forest right behind my back yard as a kid. I grew up before the age of the internet and video games. My youth was spent with my best friend Shannon, riding bikes down hills, me and my friends doing each others hair into french braids ,watching shows like the Dukes of Hazard on T.V. and going to the store to buy candy that I couldn't have while at my moms house, because my mom was a hippy. I dropped out of high school because I hated school, but I went into jr. college to please my parents instead. I spent a long time in jr. college, which I really didn't like either. Eventually I had a nervous breakdown while it was finals week in school. I was under too much stress and my soul just couldn't take doing something I hated any longer. It was like my soul was trying to shake something off of it and get free of all of the things I was doing for other people and not for my true self. Years went by before I picked up my first paint brush. I was in a class for art therapy and I started painting pictures of mermaids that had wings and could fly as well as swim. I really enjoyed the art therapy class. It was really art just for fun, and to enjoy the process of art with out any pressure to perform. I'm a self taught artist. (Well I did take one art class in jr college, just one, it was a life drawing class). Besides that one class I'm self taught. I certainly didn't learn the abstract, freedom in the moment style that I have from a class. My style of contemporary painting comes through me spontaneously. I have a few talented artists in my family, so I would also say that I was greatly encouraged to be artistic from a young age. My aunt Linda in particular constantly encouraged me and gave me praise for my art. Making art was another activity that was done regularly at my household growing up. I grew up thinking it was as normal as most would consider buttering toast. I used to watch my dad paint 20 x 30 inch paintings as a kid on the weekends. I got the idea that painting was a worthy activity from him although I was just doing ballet dancing at the time not painting. I started to dislike the ballet quite a bit and when I was 15 I told my ballet teachers and parents I quit. It was too formal for me and the only fun about it was the performance which we got to do only once a year. I actually didn't make much visual art as a kid, or teenager . I started to paint and draw around 2003 for fun. As an adult I kept on working on art, painting and drawing for several years however, I didn't show my work for a while. I kept growing a big stack of it of it in my room and wouldn't share it with the outside world. One day someone I knew got to be in the Whitney Biennial. I was in college for nutrition, a major I had less passion about than the passion I felt for drawing and painting. I was really jealous, really really jealous. He got into the New York times and my parents were making a big deal about it. I got jealous enough to get motivated. I thought, I can do that. If that person I know can do it so can I. So I started painting all the time and showing my work a little. I have been excited to find out that my work has been well received and others really like it, as well as myself. I've had several friends and acquaintances buy my work. Several strangers, also have bought my work as well. It's hard for me to categorize my own work. It doesn't look exactly like a lot of abstract art work because my work has more form and design. It's not realism for sure because I never try to draw realisticly. It's definitely contemporary art because I've make it in recent history. My friend has recently called some of my art celestial art because he thinks it looks like I'm channeling extraterrestrials.

Hi.. I am new here. I am sad because right now I have no pets. My work requires me to go out of town a lot and stay over. But I have always had pets before and grew up with them. Dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, parakeets, finches, fish, rabbits, a pony, turtles and chickens. We even had a baby alligator, not a good idea, and I had a pet praying mantis. I love animals. So this should be fun. Glad I found you. In the immortal words of Arnold Swarzenneger, I'll be back!

This Lexus IS could be the luxury Sedan you need
2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport Review - Lexus has given its well known IS minimal sedan a small makeover to help it stay up with the latest in the blasting distinction fragment.
Revived for the 2017 Lexus IS model year with reexamined front-end styling, another 10.3-inch infotainment screen and a large group of inconspicuous suspension changes, Lexus is sure the unobtrusive facelift will help it keep force against a focused arrangement of conservative extravagance sedans.
IS range, with three particular engine variations; the turbocharged four-chamber IS 200t, the petrol electric half and half IS 300h and the execution skewed IS 350 with a free-revving normally suctioned 3.5 liter V6.
The 2017 Lexus IS 350 is a solid contender in the extravagance don sedan portion, merging execution, driving elements, and solace. The forceful outside looks might energize to a few, yet helps the IS emerge from the group. Amid an examination test against any semblance of the Audi S4, BMW 335i xDrive, Cadillac ATS 3.6, and the Volvo S60 T6 R-Design, we said that when outfitted with AWD, the IS 350 loses some of its driving flow with reluctant directing, heavier feel, and uproarious engine clamor.
- Great base content
- Great looks
- Excellent 8-speed automatic
- Extraordinary alternatives
- No standard rearview camera
- Ungainly powertrain walk
- Costly elements
- Cramped rearward sitting arrangements
2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport Style Review
For 2017, Lexus centered its consideration around styling and components for the new 2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport. The new Lexus IS 350 components a reconsidered front and back belt, including another front guard that outwardly brings down the auto. A reshaped hood has been added to mix in with the grille changes, while LED headlamps are currently standard and the haze lights have been expelled. The back guard has been updated, while the "L"- formed LED taillights are more affirmed. The fumes tips now highlight a chrome encompass, and the redesigned IS will ride on standard 18-inch wheels.
2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport Exterior Review
Lexus revived the IS this year and included another front and back guard, alongside exceptional touches for F Sport models that help align the little sedan with whatever is left of the Lexus lineup.
You'd be unable to recognize the distinctions on the parcels, yet we call it great by any measure, the Lexus IS games a similar commonplace signals including the vast, expressive axle grille. Rakish, expressive lines wrap around the front end, proceed in incline and smooth bends down the sides and back. The Lexus IS has an intentional position that conveys its preparation to go up against whatever the day brings, regardless of whether pursuing ravine twists or a night on the town.
2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport Interior Review
Albeit interior materials are great, the genuine champion interior is the cabin's upscale outline. With a wide, squat focus comfort, layered dashboard, and simple clock, the visual impact is like insides of cars costing twice or three times what the IS does.
The 2017 Lexus IS keeps up its extravagance qualifications with first class interior materials, alternatives, and seats. The nature of the inside materials could just originate from Toyota. Every one of the plastics, rubbers, and upholstery materials have a strong, strong feel. Lexus discarded a year ago's chintzy directing wheel controls and we haven't yet felt the new form, so we'll report back once we do.
Lexus extended the cabin of the IS a couple of years back to align it with whatever remains of the class. Between the wheels there are 110.2 inches front to back, which is marginally littler than both Mercedes-Benz's C-Class and BMW's 3-Series. Raise situate room to breathe in the is down on both contenders as well, just 32.2 crawls in the back, as indicated by Lexus.
In any case, the is similarly as wide as both of its principle rivals, and pleasing for different body sorts. We've observed the base seats to be sufficiently agreeable for long trudges; F Sport seats could utilize only somewhat more reinforcing.
Inside problem are saved for only a couple focuses. All-wheel-drive models cut into the driver and traveler footwells with a bigger focus burrow, extended to make space for the exchange case. The upset mouse utilized for exploring the infotainment has a lot of commentators, and the atmosphere control instruments look obsolete by around 20 years.
The sedan's trunk is extensive, in spite of the fact that not far reaching, at 13.8 cubic feet. That is greater than the C-Class, however not as large as the 3-Series.
2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport Safety Review
Lexus has included new security highlights for 2017, including the Lexus Safety System+, which includes pre-crash cautioning, arrive takeoff cautioning with directing help, programmed high shafts, and radar journey control. Standard security highlights incorporate an inflexible body structure with fold zones, the Lexus Enform Safety Connect framework, ABS brakes, brake help, alongside front, side, and shade airbags. Discretionary security highlights incorporate blind side observing with back cross-activity ready, reinforcement camera with element rules, and instinctive stopping help.
The IS comes standard with 10 airbags, including two front double stage airbags, two knee airbags for front travelers, front and back side airbags and full-length shade airbags.
Blind side screens with back cross-activity caution can be requested independently or as a component of an expensive extravagance bundle.
2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport Engine and Performance Review
For 2017, Lexus hasn't changed its lineup for the IS—despite the fact that it's beginning to feel somewhat swarmed and covering.
In base design, the IS accompanies a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 that feels sensibly solid once it turns up. It's mated to an uncertain 8-speed programmed and raise wheel drive that ought to be the most widely recognized form on the streets.
That 2.0-liter turbo-4 can now be found in many places in the Lexus lineup, and in the IS 200t it makes 241 drive and 258 pound-feet of torque. It's combined only with back wheel drive and a smooth moving, yet slacking, 8-speed programmed with oar shifters.
Out and about, the IS 200t feels equipped without being overwhelming. We've discovered some slack in the drivetrain between a call for power and the auto's reaction. We likewise found a couple transmission hiccups in tough driving—a looking transmission constrained us to utilize the oar shifters in two or three events.
On paper, the turbo-4 is appropriate close by the other turbo-4s from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, yet we can't resist the urge to feel that the Lexus is only a half-stride behind. Point the finger at it on our "butt dynos." Numbers help our case a bit: the is somewhat heavier, a little slower to 60 mph, somewhat gentler.
From that point, the IS 300 is fitted with a 3.5-liter V-6 that makes 255 hp, however is mated to all-wheel drive and a 6-speed programmed. It's the accepted "base" all-wheel-drive setup, however at $3,000 more than the IS 200t, it's a major request all-wheel drive and an unobtrusive power knock.
Venture up to the IS 350 and a 3.5-liter V-6 with 306 hp and 277 lb-ft is planted in the engine. It's accessible with back wheel drive and a 8-speed programmed, or all-wheel drive with a 6-speed. It's the entertainer of the gathering, yet it won't be mistaken for the 340i, C43, or S4 at any point in the near future. The IS 350 keeps running up to 60 mph in under 6 seconds, however its potential is best tapped when joined with the discretionary F Sport bundles.
Past attaching on additional trim pieces and "energetic" aluminum pedals, the F Sport bundle includes flexible suspension and a more keen throttle and transmission mode called "Sport+" that opens the auto's potential. While the 6-speed programmed is smooth and flawlessly useful, the 8-speed moves snappier and smoother, enhancing both lively and around-town driving.
2017 Lexus IS350 F Sport Trim and Price Review
The $3545 F Sport bundle is to a great extent corrective, bringing forceful bodywork and wheels, the favor gage case, warmed and ventilated front game seats, a dark main event, and the sky is the limit from there. It likewise includes a stiffer, brandish tuned suspension that is still consistent over cratered asphalt. A heavy case and fresh controlling give the IS200t brisk reflexes and adjusted byway self-restraint, yet it's just let around the four-banger and over the top fat. This is not the lighter, all the more effective IS350 that won in a correlation test against the six-barrel 3-arrangement and ATS in 2013.

We actually have two winners this week. Melissa Powers and Kristy Hardy both sent their answers in at exactly 7:00 AM on Saturday with the location of our missing sheep and the colors of the fibers in her collection.

The other individuals who found this week's sheep are: Laura Boykin, Kathy Meier, Marsha Dekker, Pam Duff, Mary VanSlooten, Judy Beattie, Cynthia Brant, Marge Mills and Kathleen Zein.
